Contaminated Site Remediation Services

Regulatory framework for contaminated site remediation

In many instances, remediation of contaminated sites can be costly and a logistical challenge, particularly sites contaminated by building waste containing asbestos. In terms of demolition of buildings and structures on industrial and mine sites, we’re referring to remediation as the excavation of contaminated soils and containment of these on site, together with non-recyclable waste material.

Asbestos removal and remediation of contaminated sites is bound by strict regulations across OHS, environment, waste, public health, mining and quarrying, and building standards. Additionally, all States and Territories apart from Victoria have adopted the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice, providing guidance on practices for safe removal of contaminated soil.

Given that many sites around Australia earmarked for development are contaminated by a vast array of contaminants due to previous industrial activity, chemicals, or even naturally occurring contamination, thorough knowledge of the regulations, as well as experience of different remediation techniques and waste disposal is required.

An integrated project solution and independence where it’s needed

The capacity to deliver an integrated solution for contaminated soil remediation relies on a team with a comprehensive suite of skills and experience.

According to the specific needs of each commission, we assemble project teams drawing from our pool of internal resources and the skills of independent specialist licensed contractors who we have partnered with over many years.

This approach provides for independence within the assessment of hazardous risks and creates a level of oversight that manages down risks. We approach each project this way and keep communication lines with regulatory authorities open allowing transparency to demonstrate not only our willingness, but our capacity, to meet all OH&S, environmental, and other legal requirements.
